Description

A STUNNING NEW HARDBACK COLLECTION OF DAPHNE DU MAURIER'S THIRTEEN DARKEST STORIES - INTRODUCED BY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER STEPHEN KING

'Her talent is a bright light that will guide you. These remarkable stories await'
STEPHEN KING

'Unputdownable . . . After Midnight promises to never let you sleep again' LUCY ROSE
'Daphne du Maurier is the Godmother of Fear' ALICE SLATER

***

On a sharp December day, the wind changes - and the birds begin to gather.
In the twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple catch a glimpse of their lost child.
A woman returns home to find no trace of her existence.

From the inimitable imagination of Daphne du Maurier, these thirteen stories pierce to the dark heart of our relationships: between men and women, humanity and nature, love and obsession, the future and the past. Uncanny, provocative and spine-crawlingly terrifying, these tales will keep you up long after midnight. Whatever you do, don't look now . . .

PRAISE FOR DAPHNE DU MAURIER:

'Masterful, troubling and wickedly seductive' Sarah Perry
'Du Maurier is mistress of the sleight of hand in fiction' Maggie O'Farrell
'She was able to make worlds in which people and even houses are mysterious and mutable, not as they seem' Olivia Laing
'The master of slow-burning menace' Stacey Halls
'Daphne du Maurier remains the indisputable queen of the sophisticated literary thriller . . . often imitated and never, ever surpassed' Laura Shepperson
'A glittering collection of dark gems . . . Du Maurier was the queen of creepiness, and a writer of extraordinary talent. These stories will introduce you to her dark imaginings and keep you up well into the night. Do have nightmares. They'll be good ones' Anna Mazzola
